Yes folks... holiday insanity gift season is upon us! I officially realized that yesterday when I walked in to Belden jewelers and they had Christmas tunes on their muzak system! Oh boy... at least they waited until after Halloween, right?
So, with just 53 shopping days left to go (that does include Christmas Eve for you late bloomers), I thought I'd tell you about a couple of holiday open houses coming up much too quickly very soon! (Let me know how you like the flyers, designed by yours truly)
First up, the annual Holiday Open House at A Knitter's Garden on December 1 & 2. I will be selling some Lapdog Creations items at the shop (thank you to Joanne for the wonderful opportunity!), as well as some other very talented ladies. There will also be open houses at Violet Bleu and The Guest House in conjunction, making for a little "Christmas Tour" in Chester, NH. Be sure to stop by if you're local!
For all of my fellow doggy lovers, another wonderful holiday open house is happening on Sunday, December 2 at The Grooming Emporium in Lowell, MA. If you're local, please go visit Tanya and get your pooch's photos with Santa!
Well, its Friday ... wanna have a little TGIF fun? Sure you do... Hop on over to the hilarious, wonderful, infamous Shut Up I'm Counting blog and check Cass' 333 contest! Please tell her I sent you too... it'll earn me an extra entry. And don't forget, you have until November 30th to enter my first ever contest (and I promise to post photos of the prizes next week)! Come on... I'm really trying to reach my goal of $1,000 to the ASPCA and every little bit counts, whether its $5 or $10... or $25 or $50... everything counts! There are also several other ways to enter, so check it out!
If you live around the Lowell, MA area and are in need of a wonderful grooming experience, please check The Grooming Emporium!
The Groomin Emporium was just opened by my good friend Tanya, who is a wonderful, dog loving person ... and just also happens to be an experienced groomer and new business owner! I am proud that she has asked me to help her out with her marketing efforts and I will be doing a lot of her flyers, advertisements and other collateral materials (how do you like her flyer above... hint, hint). And yes, you can use the coupon on that flyer above... its good thru 8/31!
I don't have any knitting news today, except that I mailed off my final goody box to my Secret Pal 10 person and also the box to my Summer Dishcloth Swap gal. I'm not sure when or how we were supposed to "reveal" ourselves, but I did so inside both of these boxes. I hope they both enjoy their goods!
I also forgot to download more photos of cutie Dottie off the camera, but did snap this cute one on the camera phone of my honey & the little girl from Saturday (when we had to bring her down to Mass for the quarantine). Her new family will be picking her up this evening and I'm looking forward to hearing from them!
